A disk search often showed that the stuff I was looking for is at C:\Documents and Settings\”my account name”\Local Settings\Application Data\…
But under “my account name” there is no “Local Settings” directory. This was after I enabled “Show hidden files and folders” (select C drive then Tools->Folder Options->View) and clicked Apply and then “Apply to All Folders.”
After closing all “My Computer” windows and reopen a new one, I don’t see a “Local Settings” directory., but .xxx files.
Check Tools->Folder Options->View again, somehow the selection (a green dot) went back to “Do not show hidden files and folders.”
(This is based on a Dell laptop running Windows XP Pro.)
What do I miss?
